ANNA L. SEIBERT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED SCARF TIP AND FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 391,562, dated October 23, 1888.

Application filed July 16, 1888. Serial No. 250,069.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANNA L. SEIBERT,0f the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Scarf Tip and Fastener,of which thefollowingis a full,clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide the neckband of a scarf with a combined tip and fastener; and it consists in the parts which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 represents a rear view of a scarf provided with my improvement, the fastener being engaged'to the rear under side of the shield. Fig. 2 is a view of the device engaged to a shirt-front, and Fig. 3 is a perspective View ofthe fastener detached from the scarf.

A represents the shield of a scarf, B the apron, and G the neckband thereof.

The tip and fastener consists of a body, D, provided with a spring-tongue, E, formed integral therewith. Said body is also provided with an opening, a, in one end, and a cross piece, b, formed integral with the body, having a spur, I). The outer end of the tongue aforesaid is provided with teeth 6 e.

F represents a locking slide or band engaged around the body of the fastener. The lower side of the body, at D, is provided with a ridge to prevent the slide from slipping off. This ridge is formed by a depression in the opposite side of the material.

The fastener is preferably formed of thin resilient metal and struck up from a single piece.

The operation is as follows: The end of the neckband is drawn into the opening a, and thence drawn under, so as to engage the spur b, thereby firmly uniting the fastener and neckband. The position of the fastener on the band may be varied at pleasure to suit the convenience of the wearer. Assuming that the fastener is the tip of the neckband, the

(No model.)

length of said band may be varied by adj usting the position of the fastener on said band. To engage the fastener to a scarf-shield or to the plait of a shirt, the part to be engaged is placed between the tongue E and body of the fastener. The slide F is then moved upward from the position shown in Fig. 3 to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This action causes the teeth 6 e on the tongue to close into the fabric and firmly engage the neckband of the scarf with the shield or with the plait of a shirt, as the case may be. A loop may be taken in the neckband, and said loop and the shield clamped and secured by the fastener, as shown in Fig. 1. By this means the slack of the neckband may be taken up without shifting the position of the fastener on said band.

By substituting my fastener for the ordinary cloth tip I am enabled to save a quantity of cloth. It will also be observed that by the use of my device the ordinary pin for engaging the neck band to the shield may be dispensed with.

In fastening the tip to the bosom ofa shirt it will prevent the scarf from sliding above the collar, and at the same time obviate the necessity of a scarf-retainer.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A combined scarf pi n and fastener, consisting of a body provided with a toothed tongue and a slide, and also provided with an opening for the reception of a scarf-band, and a spur for engaging said band, substantially as described.

2. Acombinedscarf tip and fastener, consisting of a body provided with a toothed tongue and means for retaining the tongue in a closed position, said body being also provided with openings forthe reception of a scarf-band, and a spur for engaging said band, substantially as shown and described.
